The Inquirer had a story this morning about political merchandise, "Selling the stuff of politics," by Elizabeth Wellington.
Those who do business online might be familiar with cafepress, which lets individuals set up online stores and design their own merchandise. They make available some information on whose political wares sell more frequently. I received an email providing more detail and post this with permission:
Beer Primary - Clinton leads with 2x in sales over Obama for Beer Steins
Race for User-Generated Products - 1,200,000 Obama products, Clinton has 790,000 products in CafePress
Kids Clothing Primary - Obama receives parental approval by selling 6x as much kids clothing than Hillary
Puppy Primary - Dogs (and their owners) support Obama over Hillary, by a 2 to 1 margin in dog t-shirt sales
There is also data on the [ladies' unmentionables] primary, which I allude to in the gentlest terms to avoid having frightful searches show up on my sitemeter stats (learned my lesson there when I complained about inappropriate commercials on a network aimed at children and am now among the top results when people search for cringe-making topics). Obama leads Clinton 57% to 43%. The email, in perhaps an unintentional double entendre said Clinton was behind in this race.
GO VOTE!!!!!
